It is unreal that the west side highway crash was not fatal. Humans are so resilient sometimes.

@7c177865bd107a919938355fe93de93a:disqus It’s unreal that despite the presence of a dozen bollards and a nearly continuous strip of concrete planters, a cab driver STILL managed to get his vehicle onto the sidewalk.

DNA story doesn’t make clear, but could the cab have been moved there from the roadway to let traffic through?

Maybe it’s time to stop calling it the west side highway and start calling it west st. It’s not a limited access road, it’s a tree lined boulevard with frequent traffic lights and crosswalks separating a residential neighborhood from a park. When you say highway it sounds like a place where cars belong and pedestrians don’t

I don’t think renaming it will help. Spend some time on Riverside Drive uptown. At times it’s a speedway, not just cars but bikes too. Pedestrians should cross at their own risk.
